FlexiSpan Seals off Dewitt, MI Basement Crack

The large crack in the before photo occurred because the groundwater had been pushing its way through the seams of the wall. As you can see, the water had resulted in a lot of damage around the seam like water stains and widening the crack. The after photo shows our solution, the FlexiSpan crack repair system. It’s a two-layer sealant that both plugs the crack and creates a drainage route for leaking water.  Underneath the white panel in the after photo, polyurethane was used to seal the seam. Any water that pushes through the sealant will be directed down the wall into a drainage well at the foot of the wall. The FlexiSpan will stop water from coming entering this basement again.

Dewitt Driveway Fixed with PolyLevel

This 3-car driveway in Dewitt, MI had recently cracked and sunk in some areas. The homeowners wanted a long-lasting alternative to replacing the concrete slabs, so they decided to go with the PolyLevel system. Similar to mudjacking, PolyLevel involves injecting the slab with a material to help raise the slabs back to their original. However, unlike Mudjacking which involves larger injections of mud and concrete, PolyLevel uses high-density polymers and small injection holes. This material is 30 times lighter and is fast-drying, so the driveway can be driven on within 15 minutes of installation. PolyLevel gives this driveway a major repair, in record time.

PowerBrace System Reinforced Unstable Wall in Dewitt, MI

Missy and Dan L. contacted us because they had unstable joists in their home that needed added support to eliminate sagging floors above. The block foundation wall in the basement was cracked and unstable, which was causing the floor joists to weaken and sag. We installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall and support the joists. Steel I-beams that stretched the length of the wall were installed in the floor at the base of the wall and then attached to the joists above the wall. Once the system was secured into place with steel brackets, the beams acted as braces to hold the wall in place while potentially shifting it back to its proper position over time.
